Tales from the Folly by Ben Aaronovitch

Tales from the Folly

My review is broken into pieces following each individual story in the order I read them in. I read 6 of the stories contained in Tales from the Folly.


"Moment One: Nightingale — London September 1966": Basically just noting the origins of the idea of Nightingale’s Jaguar and the “birth” of Mama Thames.
 

"A Dedicated Follower of Fashion": That… was oddly compelling and then very weird all of a sudden at the end. The subject matter was honestly not my thing, but the writing was good enough to keep me engaged.
 

"The Home Crowd Advantage": I liked that one. Peter is ever the practical man. Definitely helps he didn’t gain magic until adulthood.
 

"Moment Three: Tobias Winter — Meckenheim 2012": Okay so, clearly more to “The Agreement” than I originally thought… which was that it was silly. But I guess we’ll be finding out just how that works in Moon over Soho.
 

"The Domestic": Kinda sweet, all things considered. I like that Toby’s actually being useful every once in a while.
 

"The Cockpit": Very sweet. I liked all the literary references and having a bookshop god that requires reading as a “sacrifice” is cute.
